Our Timeline

The Cognita journey began in 2004 with a single school, Quinton House, in the United Kingdom and a clear vision for what defines teaching excellence.

The British education system, with its worldwide reputation for quality and rigour, has provided the firm foundation for our growth internationally. Our first expansions outside the UK took place in 2007, with the addition of schools in Spain and Singapore, and since then we have welcomed schools in Hong Kong, Thailand, Vietnam, Brazil and Chile.

Today we are a growing family of some 70 schools in eight countries, with more than 30,000 students worldwide.
